Product Information

Avionic
Hold-Down Mechanisms
Secure line replaceable avionics with positive-locking
RAM Hold-Down Devices.
Features & Benefits
n Protect critical electronics from shock, vibration
and accelaration.
n Self-Locking and Load Limiting version.
n Tool or hand operation.
n ARINC 600 and MIL-F-85731 applications.
The Ram design team has developed a
complete family of ergonomically designed
ratcheting and ultra-lighweight clutching holddowns, hooks and hinges. All are built to resist
extremes in shock and vibration, yet they allow
quick change capability.
Our engineers are continuing to design smaller
units for higher loads to solve both your avionic box and printed circuit card hold-down problems. So let
Camloc/Ram be your problem solver... whether it’s loads in excess of 5000 lbs., clutching loads of 450 lbs.
or more...easy hand or tool operations...30 “G” shock loads or gunfire vibrations...ARINC 600 applications
or MIL-F-85731 (MS14108) requirements.
These pages detail the RAM Hold-Down Devices that will meet the requirements of most engineers.
However, if you don’t see a design in this catalog that will suit your application, consult one of our field
sales engineers for a solution to meet your specific needs.
Styles
Two major sub-divisions of hold-downs exist: Load Limiting and Self-Locking. Self-locking versions are
used for securing heavy loads, up to 5000 pounds. Load limiting are used to precisely control the insertion
and extraction of avionic devices with multi-pin connectors.
3° Extraction Angle...No Bent Pins.
1.
2.
3.
1. Hold-down in fuly clutched and seated position (3°-10°). 2. As extraction is begun, by turning
knob counterclockwise, the center shaft is pushed back and pivoted upward. Angle of shaft is
reduced to 3° before extraction occurs. 3. Full half-inch extraction takes place with no more than
3° of upward force placed upon avionics. Connector pins are never bent.

Typical Operation
Load Limiting Versions
Self-Locking Versions
1. To lock, lift assembly to clear HD13001 Series hook.
1. Assembly lifts to clear NAS 622 hook. Keeper is
rotated to captivate hold-down assembly to the hook.
Knob is rotated clockwise to seat the box in place.
Clutch mechanism will control the clamping force within
a rage of 100 to 140 pounds.
2. Rotate knob clockwise to engage hook with keeper .
Continue clockwise rotation to seat box.
E
2. Fully installed in locked position.
3. To unlock, rotate knob counterclockwise until keeper
clears hook. There is no need to pull back on knob to
release ratchet with RAM Hold-Down Devices.
Optional Head Styles
Hand and tool operated knob can be turned by hand or
torque wrench.
Hex head knob designed for torque wrench operation.
3. Shown here in the extraction mode. This is achieved by
simply turning the knob counterclockwise. T o release from
hook, keeper is pulled back and rotated 180° and assembly falls free.
Hand operated knob is easy to grip for high torque.
